The federation has also shown interest in seeing that the American concept of freedom is extended to all Hungarians and was a vocal spokesman in presenting the harsh treatment of Hungarians under oppressive regimes during Nazi and Communist domination. The world will not easily forget the events of 1956. when Hungarian people raised their voices and weapons against Soviet occupation forces. and the role which the American Hungarian Federation played in aiding the besieged freedom fighters. Helping In the settlement of the many refugees in the United States. the American Hungarian Federation offered those refugees a channel through which their message of the values of freedom was and still Is being presented. I believe that the past 60 years are replete with deeds of which the American Hungarian Federation should be justly proud. and I take pleasure with my fellow Members of Congress In saluting them.
